Update of the Glossary of Meteorology

自1959年出版以来，《气象学词汇》一直是大气和相关科学的主要参考工具。考虑到术语在过去30年中的增长，术语表早该进行重大更新了。根据这一奖项，将通过广泛利用志愿科学家的大型网络来完成更新，他们将担任编写和审查术语表术语定义的专题专家。由一名主编领导的一小部分常设工作人员将监督和指导这一巨大的行政工作，并提供指导和编辑支助，以确保所产生的增订卷在技术上保持一致。计划包括以电子形式和印刷形式发布词汇表。美国国家海洋和大气管理局、美国能源部、美国国防部和美国环保署也加入了对该项目的支持。

The Glossary of Meteorology has been a major reference tool in the atmospheric and related sciences since its publication in 1959. Given the growth of terminology over the past three decades, the Glossary is overdue for a major update. Under this award, the update will be accomplished by making extensive use of a large network of volunteer scientists who will serve as subject specialists for the writing and reviewing of definitions of terms for the Glossary. A small permanent staff, headed by a chief editor, will oversee and direct this enormous administrative effort as well as provide guidance and editorial support to ensure the technical consistency of the resulting updated volume. Plans include release of the Glossary in an electronic format as well as in print. Joining NSF in the support of this project are NOAA, DOE, DOD, and EPA.
